The 30 Countdown

I never thought this day would come...but I have a landmark birthday coming up here pretty quick. Yep, in just over a week, I'll be turning the big 3-0! I feel like I've put a lot of pressure on myself or at least a lotta thought into that big, round number. I'm the youngest of cousins in a biiiiig, big family, and I always remember people turning 16, then 18, then 21...but then they'd turn 30 and I thought to myself: "whooooa, they're all grown up now, and surely have it all figured out!" I know that ain't the case, and I'm a constant moving, growing, learning, wandering work of art. And somehow that's comforting.

But in the meantime, I've found a few sweet sayings that I deeeeeeply wanna try and concentrate on as the countdown to 30 begins. Cross your fingers I don't forget any of these too quickly amidst all of the parties and birthday shoes - and enjoy a little inspiration while you're with me, no?...

    Love it! Happy 30th birthday Holly! I thought I'd have it all together when I turned 30 too...but now I'm pretty sure 50, 60, 70 year-olds are still waiting to figure it all out...I'm not sure it ever happens - but at least the journey is fun (most of the time)!

Long time, no type.

You guys. Has it seriously been a full YEAR since I've typed up a blog post on here? That is both depressing and encouraging. Depressing--because I feel like I have forgotten about my first "child" my Holly in Heels blog. Encouraging--because it means that I have been suuuper busy with other fun and creative projects, like my continued PR and media copywriting, contributions to Coyote + Oak magazine out of San Luis Obispo, as well as Locale Magazine 's newest San Francisco addition. I have to admit that while these other (paying) jobs keep me busy and on my toes, I do stop and think about my former life as a fashion and lifestyle blogger, and how I miss the creative outlet. To be able to write about whatever topic I choose is certainly a gift. Writing is also therapeutic for me--this blog is like a friend. Like the kind you can call up anytime, talk about the deep stuff and then mention this new conditioner you tried...and then switch back to the meaning of lif...

Shoe closet love.

I will be the first to stand up and admit that I have a fabulous husband. Not only is he smart, funny, creative and patient, but he's pretty darned hot too! I still consider us newlyweds (and probably will for quite some time), because we're always doing thoroughly silly stuff for one another--keepin' things fresh, fun and surprising, ya know? Here's one of my fave pics of us, taken a few years ago during our engagement photoshoot. Good times. That being said, I was still simply breath-taken when I came home from a way-too-long day of work and found that my sweet beau had used his furlough day (yes, it's not just a vicious rumor that we have those all over the place in the state of CA) to transform our hall coat closet into none other than a shoe closet . You heard me right... shoe closet = every girl's dream, ya? We don't really use our hall coat closet anyway, living in such a warm southern California city, so I was thrilled to actually put this space to ...

Cyber Monday. Get that stuff.

Cyber Monday! The day when we are all glued to our phones and laptops, listening to that joyous "ding" every 10 seconds when a new email offer comes through. Let's face it, it drives us mad, but we love it. Right? This year, the deals seem undeniable and I am snagging every one that my bank account will possibly allow! From gifts for friends, gifts for kiddos, holiday party-wear, and even some adorable everyday shoes, here are some faves from today's Cyber spectacular sales: It's hard to find a good Anthro sale on regular priced items. I managed to snag this long leopard blazer during the 30% off Black Friday sale, but if you haven't snatched up an Anthro item (tons of great gifts, by the way!), now is your chance. The site is 20% off for Cyber Monday, with free shipping on orders over $100. Doooo iiiiit. Everyday sneakers that are stylish and femme make the perfect gift for yourself or your BFF. If you're a mama on the go like me, then a solid...
